To get the privacy benefits with a barebones browser you would need to install a bunch of privacy plugins that you have to trust as well, and barring that, turning off cookies and JavaScript completely. And then you would still have to worry about different forms of fingerprinting that needs special code in the browser (or plugins) to defend against.

On Firefox you have mostly the same basic no-ads no-tracks features of Brave browser while also enjoying the amount of addons Firefox has.
For example a basic Firefox setup, without even touching the user.js file, would have strict blocking by default and containers active plus few addons such as
  • uBlock
  • HTTPS everywhere
  • CanvasBlocker
  • Clear URLs
I mean both can do the same job but Firefox has the advantage of being a less bloated browser. This is especially true if you switch to LibreWolf which is firefox but harden on security and privacy
